Muse from the Booth - Equality?

19/12/2017

Equality?
Not in Audiobooks apparently.

According to a survey by Audible.com (published by Bustle) the top ten most listened to Audiobooks of 2017 were all narrated by men. Four of them are Harry Potter titles read by Jim Dale - but of the remaining six, a mixture of fiction and non-fiction titles - were all read my male readers ... every single one. Of course there will be other lists giving a different perspective, but as this one is from Audible ... it is coming direct from the horse's mouth so to speak.

Perhaps the fact that the no 1 slot was taken by the Audiobook 'The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck' should raise my spirits (it perfectly sums up 2017 after all) but somehow it doesn't. It seems that that female narrators are just not getting an equal crack at the best sellers!

About me

I've gleaned quite a lot of knowledge over the years, knowledge that might be of interest to others, especially authors, actors and voice actors. Because I read so much, for pleasure and professionally, I also occasionally write reviews of what I read - so they're here too.

My opinions are mine and my views are my own!
